Re: New to me Fleetwood Arcadia- Power roof problme solved
Why do you say not to use shore power? Do you mean not to plug the 30Amp plug in and then raise the roof? I am not under the impression that this is harmful. I think one needs to ultimately use the battery to raise it, but by running current thru the inverter to the battery and then to the power winch, it is fine. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Vin.238Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nissan Pathfinder, Pathetic suspension shown again
I towed my HW256 with a trailblazer and WDH and it worked ok. I also noticed a bit of a sag. When we purchased the HW296 we decided to upgrade to a stronger chassis. We bought a Tahoe. this seems much stiffer and up for the job. Vin.779Views0likes0CommentsRe: This is a reason why Pop Ups aren't selling......
Great Post everyone. I am one of the crazy Large High Wall POP UP owners. My unit (rockwood HW296)is a dual axle, 16' box weighing in just under 5,000lbs fully loaded. I love it! It is sub 5,000 lbs which can be handled by many mid size SUV's. A large TV is not required. I think what people miss in the comparison between a pop up and a TT is that a pop up is a bit more complicated to make and design then a TT. My pop up opens up to 29+'. It feels very spacious with its large windows and residential height ceilings of 7'6". The DW also finds she has much more counter space than many TT's we have seen. The point is, I get a large living space in a very compact towing space. I think pop ups are awesome inventions. But let's put one thing in perspective here. Camping is not done to save money. It is a lifestyle. You cannot use a simple cost analysis. It is the perceived benefits that sway the equation. Those that want/enjoy a lifestyle of pop ups find it is worth the money. As was said, there is no silver bullet for the "best RV". They make all types of RV's because each one has advantages and disadvantages. Vin.293Views0likes0Comments
